Everything was great. The place is very clean and comfortable:) the staff is super friendly! And the location is great! 10 out of 10. Just a friendly suggestion to add a bit more privacy such as curtains to the beds. But that’s not critical:)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The hostel is small, clean and quiet. It has a well equiped kitchen and spacious rooms with a balcony. In general they already thought about every little thing that a guest may need. However the best part is Gift, the owner, she is a really nice person who loves receiving guests. She helped us out like a five star resort concierge and even gave us a ride! It was one of the best hostel experiences I ever had!

    Brilliant facilities for children. But also the quieter pools were nice to relax. Rooms were nice and clean too. This hotel is in a great location, just a short walk to the main road where you will find lots of places to eat , drink and shop. Food is already cheap in Thailand but even cheaper to eat out in this area. Tip: if you tell local taxis you want to go back to the sands they charge a bit more! If you get dropped off at the nearest bar its less!

    Brilliant stay - great facilities for a very reasonable price. Great beach front, several swimming pools (one which was empty all the time), great food and really lovely staff. It's a 20 min walk from the night market but really safe area to walk at night or very cheap taxis available

    The resort was really nice, calm and clean. The staff were great and helpful. The location right on the beach is very nice, and also in a short walking distance to many stores, restaurants, the night market and the tsunami museum. We're backpackers that usually travel on budget and wanted to get spoiled a little bit, and we felt like this place was perfect for that situation: not too fancy but good value for money.

    I felt so welcomed here! Funny and kind host and a spacious room in a great location. A more home-y budget alternative to the resorts.

    Great location on the beach. Excellent room with balcony. Very close to other restaurants and bars which were generally very good and much cheaper than the hotel. The breakfasts and one dinner we had offered lots of choice and good quality. The swimming pool was large with plenty of loungers although most guests monopolised loungers for their stay.
